Lots of discussions on these when they first came out. THis is a good blog about them by our very own AerialGypsy: http://femtasticdance.blogspot.com/2013/06/pole-sleeve.html

Pole is not just about getting a move it is about moving into and out of that move with style and grace. That is only accomplished by doing said move a few hundred (thousand) times.
-
Go to Phoenix’s Facebook page. She has a few moves that are all variations of her titanic move. I have never seen it with both feet on the pole though.

Please be very careful with crossfit. More and more studies are coming out about how detrimental it can be to your body.
-
They used to have topics but they often were not used and also became a little cumbersome.
-
XPole US still has them on their site so I am not sure if that was Canada telling you they were out. They did not show for me when clicked permanent mounts but did when I searched “block mount”. When all else fails call the US customer support.

Typically “content not available” is due to whatever video or image or even member has its privacy set.

I would suggest watching every single Pantera video that you can on YouTube. I would also suggest attending some burlesque classes to give you a sense of stage presence.
-
I would not expect to get that much for a used stage. $350-500 is about the going rate for them.
-
In a twisted grip the pole kinda runs down the forearm when the move is started whereas with split grip the arm is at an angle to the pole. It is basically the grip you end up in with reverse grab or pretzel.
-
Have you looked at storage garages? You may be able to get one that would fit a car for only a few months and they are not terribly expensive (like I want t say under $100 a month and you do not have to sign a ling contract).

So in looking at the comp info, entries are already open and the comp is in about 3 months. I might suggest looking into bodybuilder prep. The only way you will get definition is to drop your body fat but at the same time you need to feed yourself properly as training for a comp will be pushing your body to limits. Last thing you need is your body to quit on you because you have not fueled it properly. This is a really good blog by Amy. If you want that definition you really need to cut down on processed food. Notice I did not say cut out fats or cut calories or even get rid of carbs. Foods labelled “diet” or “low calorie” many time do more damage and create more bloat than their full counterparts. I might also suggest looking into the Clean Eating books
Anyway,here is bog by Amy: http://aerialamy.com/blog/2012/09/13/pardon-have-you-seen-my-6-pack/

There are many threads here about inverting and also the pains of rushing inverting and getting injured. As others have said, this is not a race. Being safe and injury prevention should be top priorities.

I have been watching more of her videos this evening. My god. And she competes!
-
My old Zumba instructor posted this this morning. I want ALL of what she has! Not really twerking but damn, she can move her ass!
-
There used to be 2 in FWB/Destin but I think it is down to one. There is a place also that teaches aerial out on the other side of Destin and possibly one pole studio in Pensacola.

http://www.destinpilates.com/I was correct, the one studio closed and the one in Pensacola was sketchy and I can no longer find the info about it.

It would help if we knew your area and how much you were willing to spend.
-
You need to get the adjuster cover off in order to be able to retract the pole the whole way. Sadly if you tighten the screws right now you will not know if you are on the threads (BAD!!!!!) or in the channels (GOOD!!!).
-
I have a very narrow window with brass when it works for me; it is either too slick or too grippy. It is probably my least favorite pole material.
-
I have said it before and I will say it again, there is no such thing as a safe cheap pole! You will NEVER find a new pole for under $250 .
-
I had about 8 foot ceilings and it was the original powder coated 50 mm pole.

Caffeine is known and has been studied to reduce pain and is commonly mixed with pain relievers. Coffee however is a mild diuretic and if you are already dehydrated can possibly lead to skin and pain issues.

I am all about cheap but good protein. The best and cheapest I have found is Body Fortress Vanilla Whey Isolate. It is about $22 for a 2 lb tub at Walmart or Kroger and offers up 60g of protein at 260 calories. Basically after working out you want a fast protein which most of the time means whey. A fast protein breaks down and gets into your cells quickly. You want a slow protein prior to bed to keep feeding your cells, or basically casein. It takes a longer time to digest and therefore gives you a slow feed.
Many people who have had gastric bypass surgery use hydrolyzed protein, but there is no proof that it is any better than whey. And at usually 2-3 times the cost of whey for me it is not worth it. I have however bought the protein shots to keep in my workout bag when I used to lift just because they were easier and not as filling to chug after working out.
The only other proteins that I have found that are worth the money: Dymatize Elite Whey (OMG, their flavors are probably some of the best out there), Optimum Nutrition, and Fruit Blast the Whey (they have fruit flavors that are great in the summer time).

It is a fetish ball, and quite tame compared to the one that is held in Columbus every year. The cool thing about the fetish crowd is that they openly accept burlesque and pole and routinely have opportunities to perform on stage.
